Apparently the report is far from the actual truth.....who is Obama trying to fool....certainly not his base, most of whom are on the government tit and could care less about the jobs report as long as it doesn’t affect them.

According to the A-9 table, the number of multiple job holders jumped by 200,000. That’s where most of those new jobs came from.
